Yesterday’s exchange of views with your representatives in the general
Party
institution[1]
showed us that your
delegates are hesitant about waging a resolute struggle for the Party and
against the liquidators, embarking on the path of “conciliation” which
objectively does a service only to the liquidators.

Hesitation at such a crucial moment in Party life is, we are deeply
convinced, of advantage only to the enemies of the Party.

We shall be compelled to pursue a policy upholding the Party principle
Without your delegates, or, perhaps, even against
them. We hereby inform you of this in brief. We shall give you a more
detailed explanation within the next few days, in all probability, in the
press.

We trust that you will understand why we are turning first of all to
you, an organisation so close to us ideologically and politically.

With comradely greetings,
Bolshevik members of the Editorial Board
of the Central Organ
